Radiation Sickness
📋Overview
Radiation sickness occurs when the body absorbs a significant amount of ionizing radiation in a short timeframe, often leading to damage in tissues with rapidly dividing cells. This condition is formally known as acute radiation syndrome and typically involves systemic physiological responses to the radiation exposure.
The severity of the condition can vary based on the amount of radiation absorbed and the specific areas of the body affected. Clinical observations indicate that the syndrome primarily impacts the internal organs and cellular processes that are most sensitive to radioactive energy.
